How to Choose Your Perfect Pillow Size for Ultimate Comfort and Support
Why Pillow Size Actually Matters
Choosing the right pillow isn’t just about comfort—it's about waking up without a sore neck or a crook back. The size of your pillow plays a big role in keeping your head, neck, and spine properly aligned while you sleep.
If your pillow’s too high or too low, it can mess with your sleep posture and lead to stiffness or long-term discomfort.
Let’s break it down.
Pillow Sizes Explained
Standard (50 x 66 cm)
Best for solo sleepers. It’s compact, supportive, and easy to fit on any bed.
Queen (50 x 76 cm)
Ideal if you move around in your sleep—gives you that little extra room to roll.
King (50 x 91 cm)
Perfect for larger beds or if you like to spread out. Great for taller people too.
Body Pillow (137 x 50 cm)
A must-have for side sleepers and pregnant mums looking for full-body support.
Which Pillow Size Suits Your Sleeping Style?
Side Sleepers
A firmer, higher pillow supports the neck and keeps your spine aligned.
Back Sleepers
Medium-height pillows work best—supporting your head without pushing it too far forward.
Stomach Sleepers
You’ll want a flatter pillow to avoid craning your neck all night.
Picking Based on Body Type
Petite
Standard or thinner pillows work best—no need for extra height.
Average Build
A queen-size pillow hits the sweet spot for most people.
Broad Shoulders or Taller
King-size pillows offer the extra space and support your frame needs.
